THE DIFFERENCE.

"Look here" said the editor of a Da-
kota paper on his return from weeks
absence, to the Office boy, 81 see you
say in this weeks paper that Major
Shortcard, our esteemed fellow-towns-
man, dropped in yesterday and ordered
his paper stopped Now what in the
name of Great Scott do you mean by
that kind of talk?"
"Why gov'nor, them's just bout your
words when he subscribed while
back, only you added, may his shadder
never grow no shorter or something
like that
"Well, s'posen did, s'posen l did,"
howled the editor, that's another thing
entirely! Then he was Major Shortcardt
and was esteemed and valued, and we
felt interested in his shadow. You dom,
seem to catch on the first principles Of
journalism. Now you should have put
it like this: old Pete Shortcard, the
notorious tough of this city, tried tc
bulldoze us yesterday by ordering his
paper stopped. AS he had never paid
a cent and we took III ten cash Sub:
scriptions inside of two hours we can
probably live through it. Ia. ta

FREE TRADE.

The reduction OF internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from proprietary medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers as
well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower
and "Boshee's German Syrup, as the
reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medicine
in the IS cent size. The August Flower
for dyspepsia and liver complaint, and
the German Sprup for cough and lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale
Of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size Of the bot
ties will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted, in every town and
village in civilized countries, Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain The same
size.

THEY CAN'T EXPECT ANYTHING

Some Of the Turtle Mountain half
breeds in the northern part of this ter

uniustly taxed. Well, being half-breeds,
they can't expect to have all the rights
and careful consideration that would
be given them under the present ad-
ministration's territorial policy and

o, w. Morehead

We take the liberty to print the above
because we like its style. Here is a
man who evidently knows which side
of the fence he is on, and has sufficient
spinal column to stand there without
"wobbling'. He is not tetotaler, and
don't wish to be bothered with prohibi-
tion nonsence" and knows exactly
which paper to choose. He is not OF
that sort that would visit a printing
office and after a nice little confidential
chat in the back room where perhaps
the gasoline Jug is kept, will visit an
other office and perfume the room with
his powerful breath while offering to
furnish some good pointers on prohi-
bition. All honor to the man who dares
to express his open convictions, but
we heartily detest the hypocrisy which
tries to cover up it's dishonest inten-
tions with the cloak of friendship. The
temperance question has become one OF
the great problems of the day. All hon
orable newspapers should be able to
take stand by this time on one side or
the other.
But some consider it policy to pub
lish tlashy editorials with a Temperance
twang to them in order to gain the sup
port of the credulous prohibitionist,
while SLY winks and pocket saloons hold
fast the opposite element. And this is
lauded as enterprise and "smartness"
by the anything to get there" class of
people.
Mr.. Morehead is right in giving his
entire influence and support to the pa
per which advocates his views and the
principles he desires to support.

TOO MUCH EMPHASIS.
His Side Remark Was just What the Priest
Did Hear.

Father O'Halloran had telephone put
into the parsonage in connection with the
church, the parochial school, etc. Patrick
McFee, his reverences handy man, was in
structed in the use of the instrument, and it
was only the next day when Pat, busting out
the church. heard the chatter of the telephone
bell Taking down the receiver he was
pleased to hear Father O Halloran's familiar
voice asking him something or other about
his work Pat, in essaying to answer, re-
membered that his reverence was a long way
off, and Pat consequently hollered into the
transmitter at the top of his voice. II don't
understand you, Pat said the telephone
Pat tried again with no better success. On
his third trial he came near splitting the tee-
phone, but again came Father O. Halloran's
voice: Il can't hear what you are saying,
Patrick Pat had by this time lost something
of his patience, and as he stood gathering his
breath for fourth blast he couldn't refrain
from soliloquizing in low tone: "Ah moy
the devil fly away wild de ould fool" But
Pat dropped the telephone like hot potato
md fell to his knees in dsmay when he
heard Father O'Halloran's voice once again

of warp and wool, favorites in her simple
schoolgirl days, are now brought out:
The round of each days pleasure and
duty is much the same from one week s
end to the other. Now and then it has
been varied by stroll off in the woods
along Woodley Lane road or down
some unfrequented ravine to Rock creek.
Some DAYS have been made brighter than
others by the receipt of letters from
Paris sketching new dresses that are to
be made for next winters social season.
At long intervals there is drive into
town, and once since the New York
journey there has been shopping errand.
But for the most part life at Oak View
is the simple everyday existence that
all families pass in the heated term.
Colonel Lamont appears every afternoon
with his portfolio he and the President
discuss appointments and the various
matters of state; the days mail is
quickly signed; and the long, cool even
ing is entered upon with the whole
family on the porch looking off toward
the city and the Potomac. The expe-
riences of the day, the best story heard
or happened, and the brightest things of
life make up the conversation. Often
Lamont stays at Oak View over night
and drives into the White House the
next morning.
1t is marvellous how precious to the
average American seems the slightest
nod from Mrs. Cleveland. Recently be-
fore departing on her New England trip
she came to Washington on shopping
expedition. Like any other young
woman, she went to a place that had
pleased her before. Accompanied by

THE IIANDk ERCUIEF.
How the Dainty Cambria Came Into Use
from Much Disfavor.


Nothing is more curious in the history OF
handkerchiefs than the period when French
women were supposed to be innocent Of the
existence of such an article, the handker-
chief then being tabooed in polite converts
ton. 1t was beyond the daring Of an actor
or actress to exhibit handkerchief on the
stage, however fearful the dramatic situs-
ton might be. Mile. Duchenois was brave
enough to break the rule by carrying
handkerchief in her hand but when the ex-
igences of the scene compelled an allGslon to
the obnoxious piece of cambria she spoke OF
it as a eight tissue" and years afterward
cries of indignation saluted the utterance OF
the awful words in De Vignes adaptation OF
Shakespeare. Josephine, the Empress, brought
this to an end. She had bad teeth, and to
hide them she adopted the custom Of carry,
ing small square handkerchief bordered
with costly lace, which she was constantly
raising to her lips. The ladies of the court
initiated this and the handkerchief was ele-
waited to the important position it has ever
since maintained in the feminine toilet.
After the Empress Josephine was divorced IN
1909 she retired to her beautiful seat at NAL
maison, where she and her ladies worked
daily embroidered handkerchiefs, which
were frequently interchanged as tokens Of
friendship. One of white silk, embroidered
in roses-the work of her own needle-she
presented to the Empress of Russia.-Chscago

the fresh cold wave from Dakota
has been drowned in the humidity of
our Washington atmosphere.
Out at Oak View the President and his
young wife came to the conclusion
that it is great deal pleasanter to keep

his feet perched at restful angle on

ing Young wife Her life this summer
presents an agreeable contrast to the
round of social drudgery at the White
House in the winter. Not at all that
Mrs. Cleveland looks upon her duties as
mistress of the presidential household as
drudgery. She lifts the commonest tasks
above that. But to outsiders who can
put fair estimate on the ordinary COM
forts and independence OF lie her re-
sponsibilities seem full of hardship. 1t is
not entirely the crushing receptions when
for three or four hours she must stand
and impersonate the town pump whose
handle is the common property OF all
corners, but the official dinners where
lists must be made; the private dinners
where confidential political friends of
the President are to be smiled upon; the
regular afternoon receptions for official
society and for the unwashed throng;
to say nothing of the incessant strain on
good nature and good health from
callers who ask for the special favor of

way through the crowded, narrow store
directly to the co inter devoted to the
things she wanted. There were bits of
edging, lace, thread and buttons in her
purchases. When they were wrapped up
and paid for and the change came roll
ing back in the wooden railway over
head, the First Lady picked up her bundles
and went to her carriage. There was no
crowd, no gaping and staring. Mrs.
Cleveland might have been Mrs Smith
